ac_dispatcher Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 I have a Synaptic touchpad on my Laptop and could not get it work work just right. I found this while browsing around I found out how to get it working in Xfree 4.x Goto http://www.tuxmobil.org/software/synaptics/ or read and download at http://www.tuxmobil.org/touchpad_driver.html and download the synaptic driver. Copy the "synaptics_drv.o" to your XFree module directory (e.g.: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers) edit your XF86Config-4 Mine looks like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse2" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Edges" "1900 5400 1800 3900" Option "Finger" "25 30" Option "MaxTapTime" "20" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.02" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0007" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "UpDownScrolling" "on" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "CorePointer" "" EndSection Notice I put - Identifier "Mouse2". I have my usb mouse as mouse1. Now I can use both or if im traveling and dont want to pull out my usb mouse, my touchpad with all features work. On my touchpad even the finger tip scrool pad works great. Not sure if this should have been in hardware but being notebook specific I put it here.

ac_dispatcher Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Wow it is an old one huh? Also sometimes if you add: psmouse.proto=imps to your lilo.conf or grub it may help to get the touchpad to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 It all depends on which laptop you have. The toshiba laptop I have is working fine with regular synaptics driver, but with the toshiba-specific synaptics driver made by someone else, I can actually use the middle button.
